Author:Henry James (1843-1916)
Works
[edit]Collections
[edit]- The "Collected / Collective Edition of 1883" (14 volumes, London: Macmillan & Co.)
- — Volumes were individually published, with no indication in the front matter that the volumes form a collection. Collection has no formal title.
- The Novels and Tales of Henry James (24 volumes, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1907–1909)
- — Commonly known as the "New York Edition". James supervised the publication of this collection, including heavily revising many of his works. This is therefore considered an authoritative collection, and contains what are regarded as the canonical texts of the great majority of his novels and stories.
- The Uniform Tales of Henry James
- — Several of James' longer short stories, novellas and a short novel, published as individually bound volumes. In all but one case, the text follows that of the "New York Edition". The exception is the story "Glasses", which did not appear in the "New York Edition", and was revised for The Uniform Tales by James.
- The Novels and Stories of Henry James (35 volumes, London: Macmillan & Co, 1921–1923)
- — The first major collection of James's fiction after his death.

Stories
[edit]Story collections
[edit]James' stories were usually published first in a magazine serialisation, and then later collected into book form. Generally each story was published in collection into both the English and American markets: early in James' career, the collections published into the two markets differed; later they converged.

Apocrypha
[edit]In 2004, Floyd R. Horowitz published The Uncollected Henry James: Newly Discovered Stories, a collection of short stories published in magazines between 1852 and 1869, which Horowitz claimed, on the grounds of lexicographic analyses, to have been authored by James and published anonymously or pseudonymously. Horowitz's work did not attain scholarly acceptance, and the works listed below are not generally attributed to James:
"The Pair of Slippers" (1852) — "Woman's Influence; or, Incidents of a Courtship" (1858) — "The Rainy Day (Graves)" (1859) — "The Village Belle" (1859) — "The Sacrifice" (1859) — "The Rose-Colored Silk" (1860) — "A Winter Story" (1861) — "Sober Second Thought" (1861) — "Alone" (1861) — "The Death of Colonel Thoureau" (1861) — "The Story of a Ribbon Bow" (1862) — "A Summer Adventure" (1862) — "My Guardian and I" (1862) — "Breach of Promise of Marriage" (1862) — "A Sealed Tear" (1863) — "'I;' or, Summer in the City" (1863) — "The Sprite Transformed" (1863) — "The Blue Handkerchief" (1863) — "A Cure for Coquettes" (1863) — "My Lost Darling" (1863) — "One Evening's Work" (1865) — "Unto the Least of These" (1866) — "In a Circus" (1868) — "A Hasty Marriage" (1869)
